NovelEndChapter 878 Even Carissa shot Hayden a glance.
Hayden said that he now realized Yuvan was a dutiful son, which meant the latter hadn't always given that impression. At least, that was how it sounded to others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, among the royal family, this revelation left everyone puzzled. After all, Yuvan had always been dutiful. Each year, he submitted a request to return to the capital to visit his mom. Sometimes, it was approved, while other times, it was denied. It had been that way even back when the late emperor was still alive.
Such dedication-how could it not be moving? But on a day like today, when spirits were high, not many paid much attention to Hayden's words. Salvador, however, cast Yuvan a meaningful look.
Yuvan's expression changed slightly before he smiled as usual and said, "Our ancestors ruled with kindness and devotion. How could I dare not be dutiful to my parents?' Rafael glanced at Hayden but remained silent, continuing to enjoy his meal with Carissa.
After the palace banquet, the women went off to watch a play. The theater had performances lined up all through the New Year, continuing until the eighth day of the celebrations. It was nice to pass the twatching the plays- at least it made the hours fly by.
Though Sylvia returned to her quarters as she was pregnant, Victoria stayed with them for a while. Carissa was usually busy and rarely had the chance to visit her. Since she was finally in the palace, Victoria took her hand and chatted warmly.
Dakota was sitting nearby and asked, "You've been married for a while now. Why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? Carissa hated dealing with such questions. The decision of whether to have children and when to do so was something for her and Rafael to decide together.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore she could respond, Victoria interjected, 'She's only just becthe commander of the Mystic Army. Why should she rush into pregnancy? A man should prioritize his career, and a woman should be the same." Carissa had always found Victoria's views refreshing.
The older woman encouraged women to be self-reliant. When Aurora joined the military and achieved success in subduing bandits, Victoria was overjoyed. She held Aurora in high regard and even said she was a role model for women everywhere.
Just like now, Carissa was taken aback by Victoria's statement that women should prioritize their careers. If anyone else had said it, she might have thought they were against Rafael having children. But since it cfrom Victoria, Carissa believed she truly meant it.
Helen was engrossed in the play, but chimed in, 'Exactly! Why worry about having kids? You're the one making a fuss. I haven't even pressured her." Dakota made a half-hearted comment, but both Victoria and Helen shot her down, leaving her feeling bored and choosing to remain silent.
Meanwhile, Heather, who had been quiet until now, leaned over several people to ask Carissa, "Carissa, I heard you've opened an embroidery workshop for abandoned women." "Yes, I have," Carissa replied nonchalantly.
"You named the place Skye Embroidery. Is it named after the late lady from the Warren family? I recall that was her middle name." Heather leaned in a little closer. "But she's dead. Isn't it bad luck to use the nof a deceased person?" Carissa shot her a glance. "It's bad luck to divorce, and now it's bad luck when someone's dead. In your opinion, everything is bad luck, right? Perhaps you're just unlucky yourself, so you see everything as a bad omen."
